>From time to time I found in the printers.conf for some printers the
following option:
auth-info-required=username,password
The print jobs come mostly from samba to cups and samba is unable to
authenticate against cups if auth-info-required is set to
"username,password". If I change the auth-info-required in the
printers.conf to
auth-info-required=none
everything works fine for a while. After some time the option is again
changed to:
auth-info-required=username,password
The printers.conf contains about 150 printers and it happens to a few
printers, about 2 or 3 a day.
I found a debian bug report with the same issue:

With the previous cups version 1.2.7 everything works fine.
